A horizontal platform vibrates with simple harmonic motion in the horizontal direction with a period 2 s. A body of mass 0.5 kg is placed on the platform. The coefficient of static friction between the body and platform is 0.3. What is the maximum frictional force on the body when the platform is oscillating with amplitude 0.2 m? Assume π2=10=g{\pi ^2} = 10 = g.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
1 N
Option B (1 N) is correct because the maximum frictional force is limited by the maximum force on the body due to SHM, which is less than the maximum static friction.
